1 SECTION III NM 24/15 MARINE INFORMATION NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY'S (NGA) GUIDANCE ON THE PROPER DISPLAY SCALE OF DIGITAL NAUTICAL CHART (DNC) DATA The DNC portfolio was originally created by digitizing paper Standard Nautical Charts (SNC) and organizing them into corresponding DNC libraries based on the scale of the original paper SNC. The resulting DNC database is only as accurate as the source data of the paper charts used to create them. While NGA's Maritime Safety Office constantly improves the accuracy of the DNC with newer digital sources, the mariner should be aware that many of the features and hazards in the SNC used to build the DNC database are based upon older surveys that pre-date the Global Positioning System (GPS). Additionally, plotted accuracies of navigation hazards and soundings are constrained by the cartographic scale of the chart. Since GPS became operational, the accuracy of a ship's position using GPS now often exceeds the accuracy of the underlying charts. Displaying DNC data at a scale larger than the data compilation scale is known as Over-Scaling. This is an unsafe practice because it gives the mariner a false sense of the positional accuracy of navigation hazards and incorrect distance between features, which could lead to unsafe mission planning and navigation. This is a particular concern for the small-scale General and Coastal DNCs. The dangers of over-scaling DNC data is briefly discussed in the Submarine Operations Manual (SOM), the Navigation Department Organization and Regulations Manual (NAVDORM), and the American Practical Navigator (Pub. No. 9). NGA strongly recommends that ECDIS-N, operating in either the auto or manual mode, display DNC libraries at their data compilation scale vice relying on a fixed scale scheme referenced to the DNC's navigation purpose (General, Coastal, Approach, or Harbor). When navigating on an over-scaled DNC, fleet operators should understand the operational risks inherent in over-scaling, especially during operations in the vicinity of charted hazards and shoal water. Any questions concerning this guidance should be directed to NGA's DNC Program Manager, phone: , MCDDNC@nga.mil. NOAA CHART NEW EDITIONS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY NOAA produces nautical chart products to support Federal chart carriage requirements. These nautical charts are available as Print on Demand (POD) charts through authorized NOAA partners. A list of these approved partners can for found at DOD and other authorized U.S. Government users may obtain NOAA charts through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). New Editions of Print-on-Demand Charts are available on the Monday after NOAA clears a New Edition for release. The Traditional Chart is available two to eight weeks later. Each is official, should be put into service immediately, and meets Federal chart carriage requirements immediately upon its release. Each should be updated from the dates shown in the lower left corner of the chart. For questions contact NOAA at help@nauticalcharts.gov or call x 105.

The traditional NGA printed paper chart is then usually available some six to eight weeks later from DLA and sent out on automatic distribution. For those charts set for public sale, they are available a week after NGA release from the National Ocean Service at Regardless of how the NGA chart is obtained by the customer (downloaded from NGA website, distributed from DLA, or obtained through NOS) each is official, should be put into service immediately, and meets all Federal chart carriage requirements immediately upon its release. Each should also be updated from the dates shown in the lower left corner of the chart through the US Notice to Mariners. For questions, contact NGA at mcdepod@nga.mil. Through a special arrangement between the National Ocean Service and NGA, all NOAA charts are also available (as large pdf print files) on the NGA websites for Department of Defense (DoD) customers and other authorized U.S. Government users. These NOAA chart files are updated every week for all Notice to Mariners (NGA, USCG, and Canadian Coast Guard). The official NGA web sites for downloading selected NGA and NOAA charts are: - JWICS: - NIPRNet: - SIPRNet: This week's new editions released by NGA are listed below.

NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY S IMPLEMENTATION OF A HARDCOPY TO DIGITAL TRANSITION STRATEGY Since the mid-1990 s, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has been working to improve digital navigation product support for the US Navy and other US Government users. The US Navy is transitioning to digital navigation, thus reducing the need for NGA to continue production of hardcopy charts. Therefore, NGA has begun a gradual transition from hardcopy chart production to a digital data maintenance environment. This notice is to advise mariners, chart agents, and other users of this strategy. During the gradual transition from hardcopy charts to digital charts, NGA will continue to make certain hardcopy charts available only to US Government-approved entities, in accordance with US law or international agreement. These particular charts will be identified as bilateral charts, since they are the product of international bilateral agreements and are duplicates of foreign copyright charts. Each bilateral chart will carry an NGA chart number, a National Stock Number (NSN), a bar code, and will show the number of any existing NGA chart that it replaces only when the chart is a one-for-one replacement. For those charts that are not a one-for-one replacement, no canceled chart number will appear. In the case where more than one new chart is being introduced to replace a single NGA chart, the existing chart will not be canceled until all new replacement charts have been announced in the Notice to Mariners. Bilateral charts are the result of NGA international agreements and are duplicates of foreign copyrighted charts. The charts are printed in English, use metric units, refer to WGS-84 datum and are marked as Distribution Limited. However, certain bilateral charts have not yet been converted to WGS-84 datum, and are of sufficiently large scale (generally larger than 1:50,000) where the difference from WGS-84 datum is noticeable. These exception charts are printed with datum shift values, which must be applied in order to plot GPS-derived positions correctly. The exception charts are scheduled for eventual conversion to WGS-84 datum; until this occurs, their chart numbers will appear bold-faced in the announcement list below. Bilateral charts will contain references to host nation charts and publications, and may use symbology not yet found in US Chart No. 1. In most cases, NGA will not attempt to change these references to the equivalent US charts, publications or symbology. However, it should be noted that relevant maritime information referenced in a foreign publication can also usually be found within Sailing Directions, Notice to Mariners No. 1 (Special Paragraphs), List of Lights, Radio Navigational Aids, or Chart No. 1. Updates to Sailing Directions and other electronic publications can be made through the application of digital patch files (PDU files), available for download from the NGA Maritime Safety Web site. As the US Navy completes its transition to digital navigation, the use of bilateral charts will be gradually phased out. Until then, Section II of the Notice to Mariners, NGA/DLIS Catalog Corrections, will contain information about specific bilateral charts being announced as well as cancellation of any existing charts that they replace. Update information for bilateral charts III-2.3

4 NM 24/15 SECTION III will appear in Section I of the Notice to Mariners, Chart Corrections. Standard chart policy remains intact, in that NGA charts are not to be placed in service until their announcement appears in the US Notice to Mariners. NGA has begun adopting bilateral charts in waters of Australia, Canada, Japan, and the UK, with additional countries to follow. What this further means is that NGA no longer provides certain hardcopy charts (i.e., those replaced by bilateral charts) for public sale. To obtain these hardcopy charts, civilian users will be required to purchase bilateral chart equivalents from their producer nations and their agents. Contact information for purchasing Australian, Canadian, Japanese, and UK charts is listed below: Australian Hydrographic Service Web site: Australian Distribution Network: Canadian Hydrographic Service Web site: Canadian Sales Agents: Japan Coast Guard and List of Agents Web sites: UK Hydrographic Office Web site: UK Sales Agents: NGA issues this notice weekly. It will also appear in the What s Maritime section of the Maritime Safety Web site ( however, the following list of announced bilateral charts will only appear in the Notice to Mariners.
